Hi Recently I started to work with web2py
After initially creating a password for the www_data user and using the admin login feature with no username or email request needed. All going well, I set about enabling PAM and MULTI_USER auth, so I could add PAM users to Linux and automatically have them be able to log in to web2py instances. After doing this I found my debug and versioning to act as if they were in demo mode despite this not being set. I wanted to add my user as a manager, I found next I couldn't then log in using the basic method as it is now using a different form - as I needed usernames for PAM, and there is no username for the created admin password account. I am quite new to web2py and python, although have plenty of other programming experience, it is quite a major issue that once switching over to mod_pam I cannot enter the generic password to log in as an admin and enable is_manager, and seem to have some problem causing demo mode to activate disabling mercurial and debug with these three settings combined. If someone could offer some help it would be appreciated. I also then need to check a user is a member of a specific group before letting them on in a specific web2py instance (subdomain) along with checking if they are an admin user for is_manager, if someone can point me to some rough explained code on how to go about that, either in python or with web2py, I can probably figure the rest out myself, I'm finding the book very fragmented. Thanks --
